I can’t believe it’s the first day of December. Hot chocolate season is here!

I’ve been exhausted for the past couple of days. Looking forward to a lighter workload next week.

the big scary finals to do list

Quantitative methods research proposal

Theory paper on alienation

Quantitative methods final exam

So. Much. Grading.

I don't want to stop when I'm tired. I want to stop when I'm done.

– Saturday studies!

Being behind in my classes means that Saturdays aren't so much for resting and relaxing but for studying and catching up as much as possible. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Finals season is improved by frequent infusions (of tea)

trying to go into a career that has always been a side thing means my experience in that field is so scattered. I'm trying to put them all together cohesively into a nice portfolio lol but the dates on those experiences 👀 it's like... hey here's this one thing from 2016.... oh and here from 2018. Oh and I have smth from 2021.

the theme for the rest of the year is intention. lets be more intentional about who we have in our lives, setting + achieving goals, daily habits and routines, relationship with God, prioritizing self care + learning to love ourselves.

100 Days of Productivity [15/100]

11.30.23 | Today was a doozy. I went to my religions class, and then had to drive a long distance for an errand. I finished my lab report after staring at it for days, and then had a nighttime Zoom class for Women and Gender Studies, which ended early.

Here’s a little peek at my December notion theme. I’ll share more about it tomorrow, but I went with some darker mystical photos to match the cold weather.

November 30, 2023 - Thursday

And just like that, November is also over. Crazy how time just keeps going. I feel like I'm falling behind. It feels like my 20s will end soon and I am still here still playing house by myself. There's a lot of things that I had hoped to do in my 20s that I have not been able to do yet. I pray that Allah will give me the youth to do those things later. In truth, what is youth but simply energy and health? But you know, energy and health can appear any time in life, no matter how much time passes.

my essentials

The end of autumn. Makes me sad in a way but that's OK, sometimes change is for the better

Happy November 🌱

2nd November 2023

Clean my bed after that i go to journaling

words have so much power, so imagine what prayer can do. and not even just in the worst circumstances, but in the good. imagine what speaking life and hope into your daily walk can do for you and everyone around you.

and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say or don’t believe it at the time. literally just putting your intention towards something, and believing solely that it’ll work out no matter what happens, is the first step to reclaiming your power from an otherwise hopeless situation. there isn’t a situation under the sun that God cannot handle. it will all work in your favor.

27/11/2023 || Day 113

Remember when I said that I felt under the weather in my last post? Lol, guess who got Covid? This was my 2nd time getting it and it honestly wasn't as bad as the first time, and it was a lot more chill compared to the cold I had in early October. However, I did use it as an excuse to stay in bed and not do any programming (though I did manage to do some LeetCode to keep up with my schedule). I'm mostly bummed about having to miss my ASL class for that week, but I'm recovered and excited to go this week!

LeetCode

Like I said, I did some LeetCode questions. I did one on Thursday, Friday, and now today, and honestly the thing that I'm realizing is that when you print to standard output (i.e. for debugging), it'll slow down the performance of your result. So if it shows you only beat 5% of other users solving the problem in the same language, check to see if you have any lines that are printing to stdout and delete them. That'll speed up your solution.

Frontend Mentor REST Countries - Log #4

I decided to spend some time on this project today after neglecting it for nearly a week, and I got some serious progress done! I think all that's left to do is style the specific country page properly (for desktop and mobile) and do some string manipulation for the search function. Other than that, I think I got it working!! I'm also really proud of the search function, where you start to type letters and countries that include that substring will show up. It's helpful if you don't know the exact spelling of a country name.
